I am new to Java, but not so new to programming (working mostly with Oracle databases/forms/reports). I am reading this forum for several months, and found it very useful. Just do little more searching and your problem is solved

I got problems with graphics (mean artwork), since I cannot draw. Thanks to modern drawing programs and their tutorials, I can do some very basic art.

Hmmm. What OS r u using? I noticed some problems on some (tested on 2 actually ) Linux distros. On one of them I just refreshed webpage with applet and everything went ok (without additional click on applet).

Well your code seems fine especially other user could try it (although I usually extends Applet instead container). I use win7 with firefox 9. I have noscript installed but already whitelisted your site. If I have to find the culprit, will blame jre7 or my browser

It looks good: the artwork is very colorful, and the animations are good-looking too. However, it stuttered a bit on my (admittedly not so recent) laptop. Perhaps it's generating a bit of "garbage"? Dunno, but the stuttering seems to happen like every second.

Nice game! I had a little bit of problems wi/ the speed at which blocks drop when pressing down - I'd like it just a little bit faster. Also, there might be a problem with the timing of this.. Maybe it's just me.

Thanks all of you! Really appreciate every response! It's so motivating.

I beat the highscore by one point, by the way. persecutioncomplex

Hmm... I also noticed hi score with max integer value and your name by side. How did you do that, what were your steps? I mean is it so easy and natural to insert fake score? Sure, I did nothing to prevent that, but there wasn't form like 'input your name and desired high score', anyway someone should at least know, what page to call. I read some threads here about this topic and all I understood, it is close to impossible to make 100% secure functionality. I really need your opinion.

Tested on Celeron 1.4 single core old notebook with Win XP and there was less than 25% cpu usage and memory usage was like constant. So, how could I check whats wrong?
